Planting Season is Springing up on us at Los Luceros Historic Site

February 28th, 2024

Planting Season is “Springing” up on us at Los Luceros Historic Site in Alcalde, New Mexico. 

Our team is already getting ready for Summer and the Fall Harvest Season with Farm and Ranch Ranger Ray Valdez plowing the fields to get them ready for alfalfa seeds and the baby chile sprouts that are still snuggling in their starter flats.
